Re: Maemo 5 on Nokia N900 had a downfall - please advise how to retrive data from the phone

I would recommend you to register at talk.maemo.org and/or join #maemo IRC on freenode.net. There are lots of helpful guys there with deep knowledge of Maemo 5 (the operating system your device runs) internals and I am sure they will be able to help you if humanly possible. I recommend you to both register at talk.maemo.org and ask for help there and to join #maemo. The latter most probably will be the fastest way for you to recover your data (and your device).

Upon my return to Moscow, I called Nokia hot line, applied to local Moscow repair &amp; maintenance centers (authorised by Nokia), however, the response that I got was that the problem is not about the touch screen, but about the operating system and they cannot do anything about it to return the phone to a normal working mode.

have lost all the data - the address book, messages, notes, photos, everything. I have never made back ups for my Nokia phones.
